Review by Library Journal Review
In April 2023, excavations at a British Columbia ski resort uncover the bones of a woman. As a cold case, it's assigned to Sergeant Jane Munro of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Jane is a veteran homicide investigator whose fiancé disappeared six months earlier on a solo hiking trip without knowing that Jane is pregnant. After an incident at work, Jane was reassigned to cold cases as a team of one. Now working with four others, she focuses on a young woman who disappeared five decades ago. In 1976, Annalise Jansen vanished after a night of partying. Statements from her best friends, then known as the Shoreview Six, pointed to a young man who disappeared on the same night--but when his remains are found, the mystery deepens. Scientific advancements may now reveal secrets that have remained hidden for decades, because the bones have a story to tell. Who will uncover that story first: Jane or ambitious TV reporter Angela Sheldrick? VERDICT Fans of Louise Penny should try this gripping story from White (The Maid's Diary) that combines the best elements of a cold-case investigation with a well-developed suspense novel.--Lesa Holstine
